en480c4 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 I had a chance to see these before Nate brought them west and they looked and sounded great. It was the best I've ever heard 225s sound, which have never really impressed me before. Glad you're enjoying them! Quote
some1x Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Looks good. However, if I were to have custom cups made, I'd ask for the grills to be closer to the top and remove the button or replace it with a metal/wooden one Quote
philodox Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Very nice! [i think you should ditch the buttons though] Quote
zippy2001 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Nate, Beautiful work, you should release your own HC-1 or NM-1 Quote
screaming oranges Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 While you're at it (ditching the buttons) make a wooden grill as well. As for the headband, heat-steam mold a single piece to match the measurements of Vicki's head for ultimate comfort. Also, make a custom cable for the headphones out of shielded cable encased in multiple wooden segments to allow for flexibility. As a bonus, make the cables detachable so that they can double as a jump rope too when not listening to music. Quote
n_maher Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 you should release your own HC-1 or NM-1 Oh hell to the no! I'd say it takes 8 to 10hrs to turn and finish a set of cups like these. No one wants to pay for that much labor and it'd ruin the fun. Quote
Aimless1 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Simply beautiful...easy on the eyes and fine craftsmanship too. Quote
wrecked_porsche Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Should you ever do a pair in quilted maple, we may have to have a talk Nate, if you ever do a pair in quilted maple for Jay, please give me a buzz as I'd love a set in the same wood too. That's some awesome woodwork there. Love the smooov shine on the cups. Really beautiful. Quote
JBLoudG20 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Nate, if you ever do a pair in quilted maple for Jay, please give me a buzz as I'd love a set in the same wood too. That's some awesome woodwork there. Love the smooov shine on the cups. Really beautiful. I doub't he'll ever start taking orders like this. I'm just giving him a hard time Quote
wrecked_porsche Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Yeah, I figured as much, just wanted to put it out there, ya know, just in case Nate suddenly found that he had waaaaaaay too much free time on his hands and felt like making some wood cups. Please don't hit me with the Nate... Hey, Nate could give headphile a run for its money. I mean literally run... OK, not funny, sorry, but its 3 am here, me need sleep. Quote
Hopstretch Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 What's wrong with the good old skull of an enemy? Some islander you are. Quote
DieInAFire Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 I'd offer favors in return for cups like those... Quote

Smeggy Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 Nate, could you add a little bit of info on these in the wood finishing thread? Quote
